Hi as per username I'm clueless. I have no style and dress so I look acceptable based on my current size 16 body.

I've got this dress to wear to a winter wedding, I tried on approx 25 dresses to get to this one, i have a huge bust and I didn't want anything that creases easily so finally found this. I have no idea what to wear with it. What shoes, colours, other accessories (matching bag??) Fascinator?? Please help. I'm 35 if that helps and brunette. Thanks.

Start with trying on all the shoes you own, you may have a pair you’ve forgotten about. Do you have and necklaces, earrings and bracelets you could try with the dress? I don’t think you need many accessories as it’s all indoors. Sometimes people can look uncomfortable with too much going on.
My first thought was nude shoes with the dress but I’m no style guru.

Or if not a stole a fur coat. You could probably find one on vinted. A short one.

@fruitbrewhaha I love your style, not sure I could pull off the boots but they do look amazing. I like the coat, it's not too much either. The fascinator might be too much for me (wish I could be braver!) But I'm thinking maybe a big hair clip of some sort. Just going to find an example.

It's a beautiful dress, OP - you'll look fantastic. 👍

Oh, those hatinators with the feather are fabulous and would really complete / set the dress off for a winter wedding. You’d only need a clutch then, if you’re not going outside at all, you don’t need to worry about a coat or stole or anything. I think I would go with closed in shoes rather than sandals for the time of year. Saves on a pedi too!

Chewbecca · 22/10/2022 14:11

P.s. I really like the dress too & commend you on the fact that no one is suggesting swapping out the dress which they almost always do on the ‘what accessories’ threads!

Chewbecca · 22/10/2022 14:12

Oh goodness, ignore me, the shoes were all closed in anyway!

Crikeyalmighty · 22/10/2022 14:16

I would go with a stole too and silver shoes and necklace and bag and maybe a sparkly hair slide- I don't like hats or fascinators- but that's just me

I would keep it simple- I'm a size 18 with big boobs and love the dress!! I think I once read if you are bigger- make your accessories chunky
